Generally speaking, chewing gum is made by multiple chewing gum component is joined in the blender that can buy on the market known in the art successively.After composition is fully mixed, gum mass is poured out blender, be shaped to the form of expection, as roll into thin slice and be cut into strip, be squeezed into chunk or cast the ball shape, then dressing or pan coating.
Usually, the mixing of each composition is earlier matrix to be melted, and it is joined in the blender of running then.Matrix also can own melt in blender.At this moment also can add pigment or emulsifying agent.At this moment softening agent also can add with syrup and part extender as glycerine.Other a part of extender is joined in the blender.Flavouring agent comprises that banana aldehyde adds with back-page extender usually.Other optional member joins in the batch of material well known to a person skilled in the art typical way.
Whole combination process needs 5-15 minute usually, but also may need longer incorporation time sometimes.Those skilled in the art will recognize that many variants of said procedure can adopt.Chewing gum can also be produced continuously.
Each composition is shaped into pellet or sphere with gum mass after mixing.Ball shape or spherical chewing gum chewing gum routinely prepare, but are shaped into the pellet of pillow type, or sphere.With the core of pellet/sphere as coated product.Core can be used sugar or polyalcohol dressing, perhaps by conventional pan coating technology coatings, makes unique coated pellet shape chewing gum.The weight of dressing can for finished weight about 20% to about 50%, but also can be 75% of total chewing gum product.
Conventional pan coating program is used the sucrose dressing usually, but the recent advances of pan coating technology has allowed with other carbohydrate materials place of sucrose.In these components some include but not limited to sugar, as dextrose, and maltose, palatinose and lactitol; Or sugar-free filled-type sweetener, as xylitol, sorbierite, hydrogenated isomaltulose, erythritol, maltitol, and other new polyalcohol (being also referred to as sugar alcohol) or its composition.Thereby dressing can be to contain sweet tablet or sugar free coatings.These materials can with the pan coating modifying agent, include but not limited to Arabic gum, maltodextrin, corn syrup, gelatin, cellulose material, as carboxymethyl cellulose or CMC, starch and modified starch, natural plant gum is as alginates, locust bean gum (locust beangum), guar gum and bassora gum, insoluble carbonate is mixed together as calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate and talcum.Antiplastering aid also can be used as the pan coating modifying agent and adds, and its permission is used for various carbohydrate and sugar alcohol the exploitation of new pan coating or coated chewing gum products.The another kind of technology that reduces the viscosity in the dressing process is to use does reinforced (dry charge).Doing reinforced can be the identical polyalcohol that uses in the liquid additive, also can comprise as calcium carbonate the powder that magnesium carbonate or talcum are such.
Also can finish the dressing process with the pan coating technology of another kind of type.This technology is known as film coating, and compared with chewing gum, it more is usually used in pharmaceutical preparation, but program all is similar.Polymer, as shellac (shellac), zeins or cellulose material are applied on the ball shape product, thereby form film on product surface.Applying by with polymer of film, plasticizer and solvent (pigment is chosen wantonly) mixing is sprayed to mixture on the pellet surface then and finishes.This is at conventional type pan coating equipment, or carries out in more advanced side-vented coating pan.When using as during the solvent of alcohol, needing extra precautionary measures prevent fire and blast, and must use professional equipment.
Chewing gum can comprise soft shell or hard shell coated.After the coating film that will have a sweetener puts on chewing gum product, hard shell sugar or polyalcohol dressing can be applied on the film-coated product.In some cases, also can be on film-coated product with soft shell sugar or polyalcohol dressing.Film-coating can be after-applied at the shell dressing, avoids environmental disruption with the protection finished product.The level that puts on the film-coating on the ball shape chewing gum is generally about 0.5% to about 3% of chewing gum product.Level hard or the soft shell outer coatings is about 20% to about 60%.When high-intensity sweeteners with film coating rather than add fashionablely with sugar/polyalcohol dressing, can obtain control better to the amount of high-intensity sweeteners in the product.
As mentioned above, dressing can contain just like spices, and dispersant, colouring agent, the composition of film forming agent and adhesive.The coating flavor that is preferably mint flavouring can make dressing contain to have an appointment 0.1% to about 3% spices, and the amount of preferred about 0.3% to about 2.0% spices is used.
The high strength spices that expectation is used for dressing includes but not limited to synthetic, asccharin, and Suo Matian, alitame, saccharin salt, Aspartame, N-replaces the APM derivative, and is sweet as knob, Sucralose and acesulfame-K.High-intensity sweeteners can make dressing contain to have an appointment 0.01% to about 2.0%, and the amount of preferred about 0.1% to about 1.0% high-intensity sweeteners joins in the syrup.Preferred high-intensity sweeteners is the tunica envelope not.
In order to brighten and reduce the purpose of viscosity, add dispersant in the syrup of being everlasting.The present invention is expected at the dispersant that uses in the syrup and comprises titanium dioxide, talcum or other any antistick compound.Titanium dioxide is the present preferred dispersing agent of the present invention.Dispersant can make dressing contain to have an appointment 0.1% to about 1.0%, and the amount of preferred about 0.3% to about 0.6% dispersant joins in the syrup.
Colouring agent preferably directly joins in the syrup with the form in dyestuff or color lake.The colouring agent of the present invention's expection comprises food grade dyes.The film forming agent that preferably joins in the syrup comprises methylcellulose, gelatin, hydroxypropyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose etc. and composition thereof.Adhesive can be used as chewing gum center initial dressing in the heart and adds, and perhaps can directly add in the syrup.The adhesive of the present invention's expection comprises Arabic gum, talha glue (another kind of Arabic gum), alginates, cellulosic material, natural plant gum etc.
Dressing is at first containing have an appointment 30% to about 80% or 85% aforementioned dressing composition and about 15% or 20% to about 70% solvent, presents as the slush pulp of water.Generally speaking, the dressing process is carried out in the rotation coating pan.Want contain sugar or the sugar-free chewing gum core sheet of dressing to be placed in the rotation coating pan and to form the group that moves.
The material or the slurry that form dressing are at last applied or be distributed on the gum core tablet.In case dressing is drying, formed hard surface, just can add other syrup, to produce a plurality of dressings or multilayer hard coatings.
In the pan coating program of hard coatings, syrup is added into gum core tablet at about 100 ℉ (38 ℃) to the temperature range of about 240 ℉ (116 ℃).In order to prevent polyalcohol or the sugared crystallization in the syrup, preferred syrup temperature is that about 130 ℉ (54 ℃) are to about 200 ℉ (94 ℃) in whole process.Syrup can be mixed with gum core tablet by the method that any those skilled in the art understand, and is sprayed on the gum core tablet, pours on gum core tablet, or joins in the gum core tablet.
Generally speaking, a plurality of layers make this coatings drying by applying single coats, repeat this process then and obtain.The amount of the solid that each coating steps increases mainly depends on the concentration of syrup.Can apply any amount of dressing on the gum core tablet.Preferably on gum core tablet, apply the dressing that is no more than about 75-100 layer.The amount of the syrup that the present invention expectation applies is the amount that is enough to produce the coated chewing gum core that contains 10% to about 65% the dressing of having an appointment.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that,, can on gum core tablet, repeatedly apply the syrup of every part of premeasuring in order to obtain a plurality of coatings.Yet the volume that is applied to every part of syrup on the gum core tablet can change in whole dressing program.
In case one deck syrup is applied in gum core tablet, the present invention is desirably in dry wet syrup in the inert media.Preferred drying medium comprises air.Preferred force drying air contacts with wet syrup dressing to the temperature range of about 115 ℉ (46 ℃) at about 70 ℉ (21 ℃).More preferably dry air at about 80 ℉ (27 ℃) to the temperature range of about 100 ℉ (38 ℃).The present invention expects that also dry air has the relative humidity less than about 15%.The relative humidity of preferred dry air is less than about 8%.
Dry air can adopt any method known in the art by and with mix with the gum core of syrup dressing.Preferred dry air under the situation of extensive operation with the speed of about 2800 cubic feet/min above with the bed of the gum core of syrup dressing and blow on every side or blow therein.If the amount of processed material is less, perhaps used small device, then should use lower speed.
The present invention also is expected at and applies the after-applied dusty material of a syrup, to help to form dressing.
The spices that joins in the sweet tablet of ball shape chewing gum is pre-mixed with syrup before being applied in core closing on syrup usually, perhaps in containing the rotation coating pan of core, applies at the dressing of one or many and to add core in the process together.Usually, syrup is very hot, and about 130 ℉ (54 ℃) are to 200 ℉ (93 ℃), if spices too early and the syrup premixed, it may volatilize.
Preferred syrup puts on gum core as hot liquid, allows sugar or polyalcohol crystallization, uses the dry air dry coationg of heat then.Preferred syrup branch applies for about 30-80 time, to obtain about hard shell coated product of 25% to 75% that increases weight.Spices adds when applying more than twice, three time even four times or four times once.Each spices that adds, all one deck applies several layers of perfume-free dressing before containing the spices dressing applying down, to cover this spices.This has reduced the volatilization of spices in the dressing process.For mint flavouring, as spearmint, green pepper mint flavouring and wintergreen flavor though some perfume composition volatilizations are arranged, have the spices of enough producing the product with strong high impact forces fragrance but still remain.
Embodiment
